Pilot your own speedboat around Yas Island, making stops at iconic landmarks as well as Mangrove Alley where you can spot wildlife. So make sure to keep an eye out for flamingos wanting to say hi!
Take a break on Yas Beach Island where you can have a swim or just relax and have a picnic. Then zoom your way to Heritage Island where traditional UAE architecture and wildlife such as ostriches and gazelle sightings await.
Last but not least, cruise up close and personal past modern marvels like the award winning circular building, egg-shaped high-rises, and a stunning lineup of towers along the Al Raha Creek canal – it's like a mini Venice right here in Abu Dhabi!
So grab your sunglasses, pack your sense of adventure, and get ready to ride the waves in style with Rhino Riders – because the only thing better than being on the water is being in control of the fun!

5.00We arrived at the jetty and was met early by our host. He gave us thorough instructions on how to drive the boat as it was our first time. We headed out to various points round Yas where our host told us about the areas and took time to take pictures of us.
Lovely

5.00Beautiful experience, my first time driving a speedboat i really enjoyed it although i was pissed off with locals splashing water using their jetski. I would say it would be really nice if they change their location. The company was good enough too to change my date as i wasnt feeling well and they rescheduled my tour. The tour guide was professional and made sure that safety comes first. I would highly recommend it on weekdays avoid weekends more jetskis and also avoid the heat choose sunrise or sundown.
A must-do thrilling speed-boat experience in Abu Dhabi

5.00This was truly the most epic experience I've had in Abu Dhabi. I was blessed to have the most amazing sunrise, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide, Irfan, who was the most courteous, friendliest, knowledgeable guide,,,I truly had the best time with him and I cannot recommend Irfan enough... 20/10 200% I'm a fan of Irfan! The thrill of going full throttle was such fun.. I had a blast! Thank you 😎😎🥰🥰

5.00This one was one of my favourite activity amongst many that we did on our trip. It was a mixture of speeding on the speed boat, sightseeing, swimming in the water etc You don’t get to see any kind of wildlife but tbh that’s what I expected from reading the reviews.
